There is a good reason to wrap the whole of the outer part of the tube in suede if the suede did not go to the bottom then the edge would show through when the outer leather is formed around it.
As the next stage involves wet leather being formed around the tube I have covered the tube in black film to protect it from water and in the future dye.

Re: Pen cases

You made cases like this for Sharon and myself awhile back. We're still impressed with the product. Presently, we house the Wahl Eversharp Decoband Fountain Pens in them. The pens are extremely happy in their home.

Re: Pen cases

I thought it would be good to share a different project with you. It is still pen related. I n the past I had separate threads for boxes of different sizes. I don't make boxes much now so I thought I would post this one here.

It is an oak framed box with marine plywood top and bottom veneered in burr walnut veneer.

These are the components waiting for assembly however I am unsure I started this wanting to make a brogue style case in antique tan. I am thinking it might look really good in black or another solid colour without the brogue pattern.
The card template is to allow me to experiment with different shapes and points to get one I like.

Re: Pen cases

While I am trying to decide how to finish the large Emperor case I was catching up on what some of my Instagram followers were doing, One of them had recently been promoted in the USAF the pictures of the insignia prompted me to make a case that would keep fountain pens safe during a deployment.

I formed a kydex shell and the formed the wet veg tanned leather around it.
